NEW YORK lawyer, Mark Pomerantz, has made quite the name for himself while building his legal career.
In February 2021, the well-known prosecutor was hired by the Manhattan DA's office, but people want to know what he's been up to since his departure from the coveted position.
Who is former Manhattan special assistant DA Mark Pomerantz?
Mark Floyd Pomerantz was born in Brooklyn, New York on May 3, 1951.
The 71-year-old received his Bachelor's degree from Harvard College in 1972 and three years later graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, where he earned his JD.
Pomerantz is a federal prosecutor and trial attorney who specializes in white-collar and organized crime, as well as a member of the New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison - which he briefly left in February 2021.
That same year, on February 3, he went on to join the Manhattan District Attorney's office to help the investigation into former President Donald Trump and his businesses - a position he resigned from in February 2022.

Previously, between 1997 and 1999, Pomerantz led the criminal division of the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York before moving into private practice.
Where is Mark Pomerantz now?
In April 2022, Bloomberg Law reported that Pomerantz had rejoined Paul Weiss after resigning from the DA’s office in February.
A spokesperson for the law firm confirmed to the outlet that Pomerantz was of counsel in the firm’s litigation department.
Since being recruited by the then-district attorney, Cyrus Vance, to aid in the long-running investigation, Pomerantz has been working on his book, People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account.

The book - which intends to reveal what happened during his year working for the DA's office - is set to be released on February 7, 2023.
When will Pomerantz be on 60 Minutes?
On February 5, 2023, Pomerantz's interview on 60 Minutes is set to premiere on CBS News.
The show can also be streamed on Pluto TV, Paramount+, Prime Video, and Hulu.
"Sunday, former Manhattan special assistant DA Mark Pomerantz speaks in his first television interview after he abruptly resigned a year ago," 60 Minutes wrote on Twitter.
"He says DA Alvin Bragg halted the grand jury probe of former President Donald Trump on the case Pomerantz developed."
Bragg has defended his decision to refrain from charging Trump, saying: “After closely reviewing all the evidence from Mr. Pomerantz’s investigation, I came to the same conclusion as several senior prosecutors involved in the case, and also those I brought on: more work was needed.”
